Surgical staples came out this morning and all look goods. I have been approved to return to work December 9th (I’m still working from home full time), so I have another 2 weeks of recovery before rejoining the rat race. (I pressed for returning next Monday but my surgeon would not approve it.)
I have plenty to keep me busy: a crochet project; presents to wrap; holiday cards to send; gluten free baking to do; crossword puzzles; jigsaw puzzles; comic books to read. But, for today, I’m taking the rest of the day off to relax with the puppies and just enjoy the decorations, light, and music of the season.

I have never had staples and never will! I hear they are awful and I am allergic to metal. Don’t work too hard.

I’m not a fan of them myself and my skin reacted a little this time. Hopefully, I won’t need them ever again.

Thanks. I’m trying, but didn’t do great today with relaxing. I’ll do better tomorrow.

Wonderful! Glad they’re out. Did you also have to have that clear surgical-grade tape to cover things? My skin reacts to that stuff terribly. I’ve never had staples.
Enjoy your downtime! I hope the recovery is getting easier so you can perhaps enjoy the perks more than suffer the after effects. Much love to you, Jeffrey, and the pups.

Just gauze and steri-strips, thankfully. Things really are getting better and easier.

I’m really ok with being out of work 2 more weeks and relieved my doc insisted on it. I felt compelled to at least ask to start back earlier. I’m a good boy.

Yessir! No more staples, please. Maybe scotch tape instead, next time?
